..."I cut her body into small parts, eating what parts of her I found eatable,"...

I'm afraid to ask....and what parts might those be?

Scratch that about English cooking ... I re-read this:
Durant will be sentenced by the panel of three judges at a later date and faces a prison term of 12 years.
12 years??? that's all? and that's likely the max. Seems like English justice is worse than their cooking.

"A prosecution statement based on a police interview with Durant after his arrest said: "They were both in the living room watching a film in which children were sexually abused when they started to argue about its contents. In the course of the argument, the accused left the room and returned with a mallet, which he used to hit her about the head from behind, provoking her death."

"Words cannot express how much we miss Karen, who was a much loved daughter, mother, sister and friend."

The first quote, if true, does not indicate that she was a person of the highest moral stature.

"Before I killed Karen, I told her I had come to Spain where I was going to kill and eat paedophiles," he wrote.

Too bad he didn't stick with his plan.

Is the sentencing in Spain or England? I thought he killed her in Spain.

Durant wrote letters from his prison cell in which he claimed that he was driven to killing and eating Ms Durrell by voices emanating from his television.

This is why I keep saying we should ban Katie Couric!

Actually, he killed her in the living room :) No, you are correct, it was in Spain so this must be Spanish "justice." It's not your g20-grandfather's Inquisition any more.

But, but that would amount to cruel and unusual punishment, wouldn't it? Oh, perhaps then we could inject him with drugs that would painlessly kill him...no, that amounts to cruel and unusual punishment.

Why don't we go back to hanging these SOBs!

A more cruel or inhumane death I cannot imagine.

Besides, drawing and quartering, historically, also involved a noose; typically the subject was hung to the point of near death until they were revived in order to be quartered.
